Arabesque 7,417 Posted June 15, 2021 Magnesium & Calcium can help the leg cramps. Speak to your doctor about Lyrica - it’s great for nerve pain. But it does increase your appetite. Start at a low dose because if the dose is too high it can make you dopey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

learn2cook 588 Posted June 15, 2021 I talked with my nutritionist and I can eat 2 prunes or half a banana with FF milk. She also suggested I have Gatorade zero over four days when this happens. I suggest you talk with your nutritionist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolkSDA 116 Posted June 16, 2021 While I always suffered from occasional charlie horses (calf) in the night, since my surgery and/or dramatic weight loss, I've periodically gotten the most Gawdawful cramps in the tops of my feet extending up into lower shins, again only at night. Actually tougher to deal with than charlie horses. With the latter, at least massaging the muscle typically would cause the spasms/constricting to abate. Not with these. Gotta gingerly try to walk it off over a period of 15 minutes or so. #notfun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
